On my iPAQ 5455, there is a light next to the power switch that blinks red when the devices is charging. For some strange reason, the light is now blinking green. Does anyone know what this means? I did the ROM update earlier this week and didn't have any problems until now. As an aside, I haven't noticed any improvements promised by the ROM update either. In fact, I now get less reception on the WLAN than I did before the update. Hmmmm . . . . Anyway, if anyone can "enlighten" me on the green blinking light issue, I sure would appreciate it.

• RED = Charging
• GREEN = FULLY charged

Even if it's blinking? In the past, the red light stayed on (no blinking) when the device was fully charged.

Isn't the green light an alarm notice?

It's possible, except that I don't have any alarms set.

Does it go away with a soft reset? Doesn't it mention what this feature is in the manual?

You can get the hp iPAQ pocket PC h5455 Manuals to see that:

• amber flash - charging
• amber solid - charged
• green flash - alarm, calander, event

the green light is an alarm.

I have noticed that with the 5400's there seems to be a problem with alarms staying on top. Sometimes WisBar will catch them and will put them back on top; but most times will not. They simply evaporate; but the light still blinks green.

It will eventually stop... but not after winking at you for a while.

I hope that this is resolved by HP in PPC 2003 for the 5400.


(PS: This was my 200th Post here on Thoughts! Say Jason, this comes with a matching set of Steak Knives, doesn't it?? :multi: )

Flashing amber means device is charging
Solis amber means device is charged
Flashing green means that you have received anew email (can happen when you sync an unread email) or some other calendar or task has been set to alarm

If an alarm goes off this mill mean the green will flash until you deal with it regardless of the charging status

At least thats what my 3850 did

I know exactly what you are talking about. My 3970 did the same thing.

I didn't have it syncing email and I had no alarms set or calander events coming up, but it would start blinking amber when in the cradle, and then at some point switch to blinking green. It would quit blinking with a soft reset, but start back up after being on the charger.

I dit the ROM update and haven't had a problem since.
